Both the proto-oncogene bcl-2 and the tumour suppressor gene p53 are involved in the regulation of apoptosis.
We have investigated the prognostic value of the immunohistochemical expression of p53 and bcl-2 separately and in combination in a group of 345 breast cancer patients from one hospital with a long median follow-up of more than 10 years.
Bcl-2 expression was not a prognostic factor. p53 was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (p = 0.005) and for post-relapse survival (p = 0.006). Looking at bcl-2/p53 subgroups in the bcl-2 positive subgroup there was a large difference in both disease-free and overall survival between p53 negative and p53 positive patients. In the bcl-2 negative subgroup the p53 status was not a prognostic factor at all.
p53 is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and post-relapse survival. However, p53 status is only important in the bcl-2 positive subgroup.
原癌基因bcl-2和肿瘤抑制基因p53均参与细胞凋亡的调控。
我们对一家医院的345例乳腺癌患者进行了研究,分别单独及联合检测p53和bcl-2的免疫组化表达情况,这些患者的中位随访期超过10年。
bcl-2表达不是一个预后因素。p53是总生存期(p = 0.005)和复发后生存期(p = 0.006)的独立预后因素。观察bcl-2阳性亚组中的bcl-2/p53亚组,p53阴性和p53阳性患者在无病生存期和总生存期方面均存在很大差异。在bcl-2阴性亚组中,p53状态根本不是一个预后因素。
p53是总生存期和复发后生存期的独立预后因素。然而,p53状态仅在bcl-2阳性亚组中具有重要意义。
